dangling fruit 2014

  

I picture myself

 brushing the hair

 from your forehead

so I can kiss each eyelid

then your mouth

 sucking life from an orange

 taking substance from you I

 can't gain for myself I

 kiss your neck and nipple

like dangling fruit

 you once admired

 all stuck on the same Yacht

all devouring brothers and sisters

I picture myself as an orange

dangling from a tree limb

 for you to pick

 trying my best to shine best

in your gaze

when there are so many of us

from which to choose

 I feel your long fingers

 as they wrap around me

 plucking me from this branch

 that's special piece of fruit

 that dangles here

but only for you

then, now and always
